Data on how much this can generate in aggregate; I chose EFF for my 2020 donations and Amazon Smile sent a year-end report on 15 Dec.

    $45,901.14 was donated to EFF in 2020
    $655,382.45 donated to EFF in total
    $217,644,976.48 to all US charities
    $237,615,915.89 to all global charities
Amounts in USD.



Somehow, thinking about how much money Besos earns (is it 78 billions this year? [1]), I find smile's slogan "Experience feel-good shopping" a bad joke at best.

Did you have to bring politics into it? Smile is better than nothing, people are going to shop with or without it on Amazon why not send a fraction to "charities" ?


I never thought smile was actually this effective, but I assume based off of these numbers you are doing the vast majority of all your shopping on amazon (groceries in addition to household purchases)?


I assume those numbers are aggregated across everyone who has chosen EFF as their Smile donation recipient.


This is for all people who give to EFF.
